Is there a chance that roles will be broken out at the bottom again?

Or do we have to just accept the change / move on?

What if we introduce a way to see all your backlog grouped by role, a bit like a user suggested, you would have three links: "Schedule Boards Roles"

Like the Boards view, you would be able to see your Schedule on the same page as the Roles board.

We would however keep the Plan of the Week as it is.

Would that solve the contention?

+1 to this topic... I really liked the roles at the bottom of the week...

I did look into the boards... does that mean to make the roles thing work there, I have to add a lane for every role? Maybe instead of educating users about this, you can just have it be auto created in addition to the parking lot one.

The difficult bit is that not everyone would need this board, so potentially we should have asked as part of the new layout notification if the user wanted their tasks migrated to the board.

What is your opinion about the Plan of the Week?

It's nice, but the view is constrained since I do want to see my tasks by role. Currently I'm working on a specific role and being a visual person... I would LOVE to see them organized in lanes...

Maybe a solution could be a little popup like the prioritize one, but with the old roles view... it's just something that is key to this whole concept.

Edit:

This feature for me is kind of make it or break it when it comes to buying the subscription...

Why don't you implement my suggestion of the board? You create a list per role and voila!

You're right. I am currently doing that. It is just a crappy experience as a user.

How is it different from the previous layout?

I mean crappy in that sense that the board has to be created with a lane for each role and it's not the most intuitive flow... why make it so hard to view your tasks broken down by your vision?

How much was this feature removal tested with users? Seems like there is a bit of backlash for the removal.

There is a backlash and I am still figuring out where the problem lies. Is it the fact all the HITS are merged into one unstructured list or is it the fact there isn't enough space to show them vertically?

There has been some testing done, but probably not enough. Would you like to join our Customer Advisory Board?: https://www.facebook.com/groups/430163354142822/

It's both of those things...

Also, like you said, lack of education... it's confusing and not clear how boards play into this... but it's especially frustrating to have to create your own board with the roles...
